Les Rendez-vous de la Francophonie is part of the events surrounding the Journée Internationale de la Francophonie on March 20 – a day that is celebrated every year around the world to promote the French language and its numerous cultural expressions.

Mr. Speaker, many activities are taking place in the province over the next couple of weeks to mark this occasion and to give us all an opportunity to learn more about Newfoundland and Labrador’s rich French culture and history. These include community gatherings, film viewings and educational activities, among others. To find out more information on how to participate, residents can visit the Franco TNL Facebook page.
